Was this project abandoned ? If so I will try and allocate some time to starting my own version.

Honestly, a lot of distractions have kept me away from this. Feel free to do your own version. Perhaps my Sketchup-version can be of help, I actually got really far with the design, only to end up with hard-to-fix bugs in the model. I concluded that I had to start all over again using Fusion 360 but learning to use that program takes quite so time. I lost focus somewhere while doing tutorials.

Can you see it on the model? Or just in the gcode?
Just wondering if I can edit it out?

I don't really understand how this 3-D model is put together, is to be more like a drawing than a actual object which I have been used to doing...
I cannot add a hole because there isn't anything solid to draw a hole into...
For example, good hole...

Bad hole (IE no hole at all)

EDIT:
Seems I can drag this hole a bit at time, though it is rather tedious, will see if this works...
